It’s not so much that it’s “hard to visualize” the colors. The problem is that comparing the results numerically is grossly misleading, because RGB are not perceptually relevant color dimensions. For example, this article says “D is the highest value, 2 is the lowest. D is high. 2 is low. That's a wide range, but not completely wide. So our color has moderate saturation, thus making it a washed color.” But you can make a wide variety of colors where 34/255 is the lowest sRGB coordinate and 221/255 is the highest sRGB coordinate, including some which are extremely intense (e.g. #d2d) and others which are more moderate (e.g. #da2). The article says, “the values are both high and low, so it has middle lightness,” again based on the example #d92. But try comparing the lightness of #92d and #9d2. While HSL or HSV “L” or “V” will be the same between the two, one is a light yellowish green color, the other is dark purple. These heuristics are grossly misleading and should not be relied on.
